I have never posted any of Jake's and my engagement pictures back in the day when we took them, so I thought it would be fun to post some of them this week since it is our 3rd anniversary week :) We did two different outfits, so there will be one more post coming up later this week!

We used the top photo to send out for our wedding invitation.  At the time we didn't know our wedding colors were going to be mustard and gray, so it was fun to have matching engagement outfits to match our wedding.

Seeing my long hair with bangs makes me miss having straight across bangs! I might want to cut them again ;) Thanks so much for stopping by today! 

P.S. All these photos are from the amazing Nicole Christensen :)

Polka Dots and Kate Middleton

A few weeks ago Jake and I were in Vegas and got to go shopping! I found this cute polka dress at Topshop and was super excited about it! I was trying to find a link to this dress and could not find one anywhere! I was surprised because its new and it was no where to be found! Well I found out why! The beautiful Kate Middleton wore this dress recently and it sold out!! How cool is that?! I thought the article was kind of neat, so HERE is a link to it if you want to check it out and see how Kate wears the dress to! I guess thats kind of fun to think Kate Middleton and I have the same dress :) She wears it so well and looks adorable!

Can you tell I was surprised at Jake jumping? haha

Last night I got to join a few ladies at Pizzeria 712 for some pizza, chatting, and saying goodbye to Elisabeth as she moves to Ohio. I got a tomato basil pizza and loved it!  Jake was so cute and wanted to come along, so he hung out in the car and waited for me as I hung out with friends. He read some of his book and went on a walk. He also stopped at The Chocolate to get us some yummy cookies! Hes the best! I love sugar cookies from The Chocolate!

Last week I got to go to SNAP! Oh my...I had a blast! (pictures from SNAP coming soon :) It was a blogging conference of mostly DIY blogger!  I loved being able to socialize, make new friends, and learn some new things about the blogging industry! I feel I left having a clear view of what I want to do with my blog, my store, ext. One evening at the conference was Queen Bee Market and Jake was so amazing and helped me set up my booth, and stay the entire time and man the booth. He is the best! I loved having him there. Its still a bit chilly outside, so it is making me want to wear frumpy clothes. Something about being cold and cozy go together well for me :)  This sweater, I got a few years ago in Belgium, and is still one of my favorite go to cozy wear items.

I also got to meet the owner of Riley Blake this night, and she even got one of my little stuffed animals! Riley Blake has had some of my all time favorite fabric patterns I have used for quilts and random projects! It was such a highlight for me meeting her :)

Rain or Shine

I love when it rains outside, and everything looks so green! Rain makes everything beautiful out and really enhances natures colors! I LOVE IT! It also makes it very chilly outside...back to coats!! It actually snowed a bit yesterday! Thats kinda of exciting huh?! When I went to Alt Design Summit, Jake and I got these awesome mittens! We have gotten some good use out of them this winter.

It started raining again! Wahoo! So awesome! I LOVE Rain! I was so excited when I found this bubble umbrella at Target! Seriously, one of my all time favorite purchases! I love that you can see rain through it, and hear the rain hitting the plastic! Such a great sound! I also love this new jacket I got at Zara! They have some great coats and Jackets! I need to buy some more :)  Here are some fun picture Jake and I got in the rain! P.S. Jake is officially a pirate in this post :) I was loving how his hints of orange were showing up so bright in the pictures with the dark rainy background! I loved it! P.S.
